Brief Answer:
not usually indicative of problems

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

No, clear urine does not usually have serious implications. It is usually a reflection of the concentration of the urine.

In many cases, the urine appears clear if the person is using more fluids for any reason.
Even if this is not the case, it is not usually associated with any conditions unless there are other urinary symptoms eg passing urine frequently, urgency, discomfort etc

I hope this helps ,feel free to ask any other questions

I have been urinating every half hour it seems.

Urinating every half hour or so. Is that a urinary tract infection? There is no pain.

Brief Answer:
it is possible that an infection may be developing

Detailed Answer:
HI

Frequency, even if you are not currently experiencing any discomfort at the moment, can definitely mean that there may be an infection pending, if there is no history of using more fluids.

You may need to consider seeing your doctor for urinalysis to determine if this is the case.
If an infection is present, then you would need a course of antibiotics
